I just can't get into a team who has no plans on actually staying in the arena and only moved the games there in the first place because the decision to have the originally in Bridgeport was an obviously awful decision and they only had like 700 people at those games so it forced them to move the other 2 games planned there to Prudential.
Personally, I would never continue watching and supporting a team that moved away. Can't imagine a ton of Coyotes fans are going to do this either.
Even more ridiculous when some people in NJ can't even watch the Devils because of blackouts...
Where did they even get Yetis from though? Is there some Utah folklore story that I've just missed? Cause Yetis have always been associated with the Himalayan mountains like Everest. Like even Disney's Animal Kingdom has the roller coaster with the Yeti that is literally themed to this.
I would think most people from there would much rather have a team name that's actually associated with their state, even more so because the Jazz have nothing to do with their state.
Saw this on HF lol...
Shane Doan, plays first year in WPG, team moves to Arizona... His son Josh Doan, plays first year in Arizona, team moves to Utah lol
Lol at the headline being "Utah Something" I hope the fans chant LETS GO SOMETHINGS!!!

I have never had a season where my ticket prices increased 9% and they didn't make the playoffs. This is also already on top of the ticket increases from last season. It also might be the biggest increase percentage wise I've had it.
Did anyone's wages get increased by 9% this year? I doubt many, if any did. Especially afrer a big bump from last year.
I harp on it because I'm still pissed off about it and if I didn't have money tied up in buybacks I might have seriously had a long debate about canceling for the first time in way over 20 years because I'm that annoyed about it and absolutely hated watching this team this year.
I also wish I kept better track of everything from prior years and I could go digging through all my renewals because I'm also pretty sure I've never had a 9% increase period. It's gone up during sh!t years but it's usually in the 2-4% range.
It's all absolutely unsustainable and I wonder when the bubble finally breaks on it. I have no idea how families of multiple kids out there even do it or justify it.
I'm also of the theory that I wish teams were tied to cities and not sh!t bag owners who don't give a fvck about anyone but their pockets. While I don't absolutely hate our owners and we could have way worse, our owners absolutely fall into this category.
